What cat food do I get???

"Spay pocket"??? I have one of those!!! So does Shortie and Maya Linn. RB MooShoo did too!!

I free feed my cats. Once you've changed their food to a premium dry food that doesn't have fillers or by-products, you'll find your cats will be satisfied and eat less.

My cats get one-half of a can of wet, morning and evening, and they free feed with Blue Wilderness dry (I will never stop feeding this stuff, it's great!). They don't constantly go back to their food bowls with the good stuff. Now, Mac needs to put on a little weight and the good stuff has stopped his vomiting. Now the food stays inside him and he is slowly gaining weight and his fur is soooo soft! Good cat food DOES make a difference! By the way, Blunt is truly gorgeous!

Awww! Blunt says thanks, but she is well aware that she is beautiful! You can keep telling her though.

If you have a good quality dry food Blunt will stop eating when she's full? Right? I talked to her previous owner today and she said that Blunt has always been free fed. I'd like to continue to free feed her since that's what she's use to. I'll keep you updated on what food we pick up tomorrow. I'm really leaning toward the Blue Wilderness. I like the ingredients and you all seem to have good success with it. I think we're gonna try it.

On an un-food related topic. I've got a small slicker brush I've been brushing Blunt out about 3 times a day. She seems to like it. I feel a little bit of flea dirt behind her ears. What is the best flea preventative for cats? I use Frontline on Chloe only when she needs it. I give her garlic pills a couple times a month in the winter if I saw a flea. When I was working in the vet clinics I always saw cats come in that had reactions to flea preventative. I do know a lot of these cats were reacting to Sergent's products. Bought at Wal-Mart or a similar place. I would never use these products. I haven't seen any fleas, just felt the flea dirt. Wondering what is a good preventative.

Blunt is gorgeous and I hope to see much more of her. I've been using Advantage on my cats for many years now. I actually buy the largest dog one online and then I measure it out for my cats according to weight and this saves me a lot of money. My former vet actually recommended this to me because the ingredients are the same in both the cat and dog advantage. Now the advantage multi might be different though. Good luck.

Blue Buffalo, Wellness or Royal Canin are your best bets. Specifically Royal Canin as they have done a TON of research, design kibbles for specific cat breeds based on the type of teeth they have, and have specific dietary formulas for a whole range of different health problems, picky eaters, health and beauty etc. My kittens will not eat anything else. It is expensive. A few dollars more than Wellness but definately worth it. I can show you photos of my felines if you'd like to see what their coats look like.

I didn't know royal canin made cat food. Yeah, if you wanna show me their coats. I may end up trying it sometime.

I've been having quite a bit of trouble uploading photos to Pet Talk lately so I'll try to upload as many as I can. Anyway, no other cat food company has done as much research as Royal Canin has. Also, a lot of their foods are made specifically to prohibit the formula of both types of urinary stones in cats.
